can't say it enough...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this girl!! And I love how she puts up with me constantly taking her picture. Here she is the other day while we were shopping at the District. It was a beautiful day so we took some quick shots as we browsed the shops. I love hanging out with this cutie! Life is GOOD!

The other night we got to watch Emma until late. The girls got to play for hours and we had so much fun. We played outside, played princess, and painted our nails all pretty! Then it was time to get the girls ready for bed and to our surprise, Emma had the same jammies as Addie! The girls were so excited. They were happy to pose for lots of "twins" pictures! Love these girls!

Oh happy day!

This little ray of sunshine has brought so much love into my life. Being a mommy to little Miss Addison as been so wonderful. She is a true sweetheart and my dear friend. Also as the time goes by I appreciate and love my own mother SO much more! I can start to comprehend her love for me as my love for my daughter grows. I love being a mommy and getting to laugh with Addie when she says silly things. I love when I get to kiss her good night and as I walk out of the room I hear, " Good night mommy. I love you too!" Addie brings me joy in my life I never could have imagined. She is such a happy and beautiful spirit in our home. On Mother's Day I am reminded of all the love my mom has given me all these years. She is so special to me! She has taught me how to be a great mother by her example. And today (and always) I think of how lucky I am to be a mother. I am VERY grateful for the countless blessings in my life. Happy Mother's Day to all you dear mothers out there.
